Cristiano Ronaldo’s Son Prefers Kylian Mbappé: A Humble Admission from the Superstar.

In a candid revelation, Al Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has acknowledged that his five-year-old son, Mateo, holds a preference for Kylian Mbappé over his own illustrious father. Despite Ronaldo’s impressive performance over the weekend, where he scored two goals to lead the Saudi Pro League in scoring, Mateo’s admiration for the Real Madrid forward remains evident.

During an interview with La Sexta, Ronaldo shared, “Mateo, he really likes Mbappé. He sometimes tells me: ‘Hey dad, Mbappé is better than you,’ and I reply by saying: ‘No, I am better than him, I have scored more goals.’” This exchange highlights not only the playful banter between father and son but also the generational shift in football fandom.

Kylian Mbappé, who has openly cited Ronaldo as an idol during his formative years, has recently begun to mirror some of the Portuguese star’s remarkable achievements at Real Madrid. Following a hat trick against Real Valladolid, Mbappé now boasts 15 goals in La Liga, positioning him second in the Pichichi race, trailing only Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski.

Ronaldo’s record of 450 goals for Los Blancos from 2009 to 2018 remains unmatched, yet the admiration Mateo has for Mbappé serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving landscape of football fandom and the new icons that capture the hearts of young fans today.
